"Pick-Your-Own" Farms and Orchards

Pick your own berries, peaches, vegetables, and apples this summer and fall at local farms and orchards. The season for each of these crops may vary from year to year, depending on weather. It's a good idea to call ahead to the farm you want to visit to check on picking conditions. For a complete listing of "pick-your-own" farms, visit the state's Massachusetts Grown website.
